Migration Assessment Scan: Large List Views

Learn how to mitigate issues with Large List Views during migration.

Overview

On the source environment it is possible to configure list view throttling so there are a set number of hours per day where the throttle on views is lifted. On the target platform, the stated product list limits is in place continuously (24x7). This may result in some of your list views being throttled.

Data Migration

The lists and their data will be migrated. However, the list views called out in the scan report may not be viewable post migration without performing the remediation documented in the following section, Preparing for Migration. Any list views containing over 12 lookup columns may also be throttled and require remediation. For more information, see Designing large lists and maximizing list performance..

Important: Any site that is configured as “No Access” (locked), in SharePoint will be skipped. To see a list of locked site collections see the Locked Sites scan output.

Preparing for Migration

Post Migration

Ensure the lists that you remediated are rendering correctly.
